Description
Enjoy the beauty and splendor of Sonoma County wine country with these winery tours and tastings for four at Matanzas Creek Winery and Ravenswood Winery.
Located in the heart of Sonoma County's Bennett Valley, Matanzas Creek Winery was founded over two decades ago during a time when only a handful of California wineries focused on crafting superior, premium wine. Guided by a simple, but profound, commitment to quality above all else, the Estate has, in the years since its establishment, emerged as one of the most consistent and influential quality leaders in the global wine industry.
The Mantanzas Creek luxury wine collection represents a rich history of superior artisan winemaking in Sonoma's newest wine region - Bennett Valley. The recognition of Bennett Valley as an official appellation formally acknowledges the unique climate, soil profile, topography and aspects of this prestigious wine growing region. Specifically, Bennett Valley is unique as its three mountains – Sonoma, Bennett and Taylor – capture a direct cool air stream from the ocean. This air stream, called the Petaluma Wind Gap, promotes a cooler, longer growing season that results in intense, more complex wines.
Your Winery Tour & Tasting for Four (4) gift certificate at Matanzas Creek Winery includes a Gift Bag filled with select gift items, including handmade estate-grown Lavendar Products.
At Ravenswood Winery, expressing their commitment to full-flavored varietal wine — notably Zinfandel — sums up their mission to capture everything a vineyard has to offer. At the home of No Wimpy Wines, you'll get to taste mind blowing zinfandel, and witty conversation with their behind-the-bar staff.
This Ravenswood Designate Tasting for Four (4) will have you and your friends strolling through their estate vineyard to examine the vines up close, then return to the cellar to sample wines straight from the barrel and taste current releases.
Ah...the good life. Enjoy!
